Fourth Floor Common Room, Saturday Afternoon

It had been a lifetime ago since he last found himself in this common room, but Jak had had a long night (and a long morning's not-really-sleeping. Fucking insomnia) and he was hungry. So he was poking through the drawers in search of something that looked edible.

At least with a few months' training on the local alphabet, he could now make out what was soup and what was toilet cleaner.

"Huh." Hannibal left it at that, not really wanting to push something he knew nothing about. He'd met Jak once and didn't think he had that right. "Why didn't you just punch Arthur?"

See, that was more fun to talk about.

Jak shrugged, dropping a spoon in his cereal. "Didn't seem worth the hassle," he said. "But him and those squirrels are weird."

"The squirrels have always been weird," he said, finding a seat to drop into. "I would call Arthur a pompous ass more than weird."

And he was sure the sentiment was returned.

"From what I heard, you didn't do too bad there," he said. "I've heard worse."

"That's really reassuring," Jak said. Dryly. "It's not really my chunk of the world." What with all the talking.

"Not mine either and I like talking," he said, shrugging. "What is your chunk of the world these days? Crap cereal in a common room?"

How to explain that one? "I run missions back home," he settled on, finally. "This place is a little quiet."

"If you're not careful, you'll jinx us," Hannibal said. "Bring about a plague of sentient robotic ladybugs or something."

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Jak paused for a moment. "...You think this place is going to get attacked by Metal Heads?"

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think anything's possible on this place," Hannibal said, shrugging his shoulder. "I didn't expect zombies to invade, you know."

"That might actually bring some action, though." Yeah, Jak didn't see the problem.

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, no, that would bring action, you're right," he agreed. "Still, I'm not always a fan of getting my ass chased by ladybugs of all things."

"The trick is to bring a gun," Jak shared. "Take them out at a range." He had a lot of experience taking out metal bugs, okay? "Though the ones the size of a house... you better run."

Hannibal stopped chewing again, fixing Jak with a look. "Last time we talked, it was about extreme sports. You seem to have taken up a whole new level of extreme sports."

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Jak shrugged. "We have a Metal Head problem back home," he said. "Wait, that was you. Sports guy."

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"I've heard worse descriptions," he said, shrugging. "Sports guy's good enough. You done the skydiving thing yet?"

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Haven't really had a shot."

Thrown himself out of buildings? Yes, that he had.

"You should come check out my JET-board sometime. Now that's sports."

This was... probably hitting his socialisation quota for the next three months.

"JET board?" It had a good name so Hannibal hoped it wouldn't be some wimpy jump rope thing or something. "What's that? Haven't heard of it before."

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's like a skateboard, but no wheels."

Jak wasn't even going to pretend to know anything about the science, man.

"That sounds pretty badass," Hannibal admitted, nodding. "Ever run out of gas?"

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nope," Jak said, shrugging and smirking at the same time. "The girl who got it for me was pretty good."

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll say." Yeah, that sounded really badass. "There'd be nothing worse than to be zooming along and have that thing toss you because it ran out of gas. I wouldn't mind checking that out."

[identity profile] unborn-renegade.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hit me up in the park tomorrow," Jak said, grinning. "We'll see if you can stay on it without falling on your ass."

Seriously. Entire three-month dose of friendliness, poof, in one conversation.

[identity profile] decoder-rings.livejournal.com 2010-01-09 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Despite knowing that he'd probably fall on his ass, Hannibal said, "Don't worry, it sounds like an easy time."

It didn't but Hannibal wasn't going to act like he knew he'd fall.
